The Howard Difference
EXPERIENCE
With over 30 years’ experience, our disciplined strategies are backed by extensive research, sophisticated analysis, and proprietary computerized tools. Vance Howard, CEO and Portfolio Manager, has been mentioned in numerous publications including Kiplinger Magazine, Investor’s Business Daily (IBD), MorningStar and Investment News. In addition, HCM has recurrently made the monthly top 10 list in The Wall Street Journal’s Category Kings for the performance of Equity Income Funds and Multi Cap Growth Funds.FLEXIBILITY
Asset flexibility is a key feature of HCM’s trading philosophy. All of our portfolios are fully liquid, as we do not lock investors in an investment that cannot be changed or easily withdrawn from. This flexibility also gives us the ability to act when the HCM-BuyLine® signals, to move to cash and/or cash equivalents in the event of a market downturn in an attempt to preserve capital.TACTICAL MANAGEMENT
HCM believes in active management through a tactical approach. Through tactical management, we are able to hold a range of percentages of asset allocations in each of our portfolios. This type of diversification gives HCM portfolios the ability to seek income and growth for investors with all levels of risk and return objectives.STOPLOSS MANAGEMENT
Most of HCM’s investment portfolios and retirement tools work in conjunction with our proprietary stoploss tool, the HCM-Buyline®. By doing so, we aim to keep assets on the right-side of the market. The HCM-BuyLine® is an indicator that mitigates downside risk by signaling when funds should be moved out of equities and into cash and/or cash equivalents, while taking advantage of market upturns. It strives to protect profits while providing a highly complex and technical quantitative trading tool for the universal client.PROPRIETARY TOOLS
The 401(k) Optimizer® is an online allocation tool designed to deliver personalized recommendations based on an individual’s investment options, risk tolerance level, age and long-term goals. Another tool, built for the public sector, the TSP Optimizer®, allows federal employees to upload their fund options and quickly allocate their Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Funds based on their risk tolerance and long-term goals. All of HCM’s proprietary retirement tools are delivered with the use of the HCM-BuyLine®, protecting investments through market downturns while also pursuing opportunities for growth.

Howard Capital Management, Inc. may maintain long or short positions in the financial instruments referred to and may transact in them as principal or agent. Unless stated specifically otherwise, this is not a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell and any prices or quotations contained herein are indicative only. Our proprietary indicator, the HCM-BuyLine®, identified changes in the market trend. Buys and sells may or may not have occurred on the exact dates shown. These dates do not necessarily reflect transactions applied to every individual account. Also, certain products, custodians and portfolios may have a delay in execution. When the HCM-BuyLine® indicates a bull market, HCM then identifies the particular mutual funds, ETFs or individual stocks that we believe have the best return potentials in the current market from the universe of assets available in each given program and invests in them. When the HCM-BuyLine® indicates a bear market, HCM moves clients’ investments to less risky alternatives. Not every HCM-BuyLine® buy and sell will result in a profitable trade. There will be times when following the indicator results in a loss. However, there have been situations in the past in which HCM reduced clients’ exposure to equities during market downturns by following an HCM-BuyLine® signal, thereby preserving capital. Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
